Château Langoa Barton Saint Julien 2022 Grand Cru Classe

Château Langoa Barton Grand Cru Classé 2022 - Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France

A standout vintage from this historic Third Growth estate in Saint-Julien, the 2022 Château Langoa Barton blends classic Left Bank power with finesse and ripe, layered fruit. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and tobacco are woven together with subtle cedar and floral notes, leading into a medium-to-full-bodied palate that is concentrated yet elegant. Polished tannins and bright acidity give structure and lift, while the long finish shows spicy complexity and refined texture - a beautifully balanced Saint-Julien with both immediate appeal and great ageing potential.
